Johnny Miller Chipping Up

Blinds: 6,000/12,000

Actor/DJ Danny Masterson Takes a Pot

Actor/DJ Danny Masterson stares down 1996 WSOP Main Event champion Huckleberry Seed on Day 2 of the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open $10 Million Guaranteed Main Event.

Actor/DJ Danny Masterson (pictured) raises under the gun to 22,000, the UTG+1 player calls, and so does the big blind.

The flop comes 10s 6h 2s, the big blind checks, Masterson bets 20,000, and the UTG+1 player min-raises to 40,000. The big blind folds, and Masterson calls.

The turn is the 7h, and both players check. The river is the Jc, Masterson bets 45,000, and his opponent tanks for a while before he folds A-6 (pair of sixes) face up. Masterson takes the pot.

Danny Masterson  –  465,000  (46 bb)

Matt Waxman Eliminated By Amir Lehavot

Blinds: 5,000/10,000
Ante: 1,000

2013 WSOP November Niner Amir Lehavot raises to 22,000 from UTG+1 and Matt Waxman three-bets to 47,000 from the cutoff. Action folds back to Lehavot who calls to see a Ks Jh 3d flop. Lehavot check-calls 39,000 from Waxman, landing the 9h turn. Another check from Lehavot leads to another bet from Waxman, this one for 97,000. After about three minutes, Lehavot raises all in with the bigger stack. Waxman takes about 20 seconds before he calls all in for about 400,000 total with Kd 9d. Lehavot, though, turns over 3c 3s and holds up through the Ad river.

Amir Lehavot – 1,240,000 (124 bb)
Matt Waxman – Eliminated in about 160th Place ($11,635)

Aaron Massey Over 500,000

A player raised to 23,000 under the gun preflop and Aaron Massey called on the cutoff. The flop was dealt Kh 8c 7c and Massey bet 55,000. UTG check-called and the turn fell 6d. Both players contributed 25,000 and then the river delivered the Kd. Both players checked and UTG flipped over Ac 9c. Massey held pocket tens though, and that was more than enough to win him the hand and grow his stack to 530,000.
